Answer:

After 12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by defining some variables. Say that m is the distance driven in the taxi, and C is the total amount charged.

For taxi A, the formula is C=5+0.25m

For taxi B, the formula is C=2+0.5m

To find when they cost the same amount, you can set the two equal to each other.

5+0.25m=2+0.5m

0.25m=3

m=12 miles

Hope this helps!
